Description: RARE KRIEGSMARINE (NAVY) German Death Card for 44 Year Old Sailor Who Died in POW CAMP in 1945 in YUGOSLAVIA DESCRIPTION: Rare original WWII German Death card for a very old (44) KRIEGSMARINE SAILOR who died in a POW camp in YUGOSLAVIA.in 1945.....ship sunk?Specifically, "Jakob Schiedmaier, lance cpl in the KRIEGSMARINE who died on Aug. 9, 1945, aged 44, in a WAR PRISON IN YUGOSLAVIA." Photo shown wearing KRIEGSMARINE "DONALD DUCK" uniform. I have no idea why he was in Yugoslavia, but possibly some of the German ships docked there once the war was over and were taken prisoner there. Typical of Navy operations as their movements were secretive. It is also possible that his entire ship went down towards the end of the war, near there, and he was picked up at sea and taken there.Nice original way to put a story, life, and face to a scarce sailor, who would otherwise be only a forgotten statistic. VERY NICE KRIEGSMARINE CARD. THese cards are very hard to find and always desirible.This is in excellent condition overall.I follow ebay's rules strictly, and no bids will be accepted from Germany, Austria, or any other places where it is unlawful to ship to.I try to collect and sell only unique and higher quality WWII and WWI soldier memorial cards rather than the more common ones usually seen on ebay. Please see my auction list for other unusual ones!! SHIPPING TERMS:Buyer pays $4.50 shipping in the US, $6.50 outside, reduced by multiple purchases.
